The Art of Discarding
The Art of Discarding: How to Get Rid of Clutter and Find Joy | Nagisa Tatsumi
5 posts | 6 read | 5 to read
The book that inspired Marie Kondo's The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Nagisa Tatsumi's international bestseller offers a practical plan to figure out what to keep and what to discard so you can get - and stay - tidy, once and for all. Practical and inspiring, The Art of Discarding (the book that originally inspired a young Marie Kondo to start cleaning up her closets) offers hands-on advice and easy-to-follow guidelines to help readers learn how to finally let go of stuff that is holding them back--as well as sage advice on acquiring less in the first place. Author Nagisa Tatsumi urges us to reflect on our attitude to possessing things and to have the courage and conviction to get rid of all the stuff we really don't need, offering advice on how to tackle the things that pile up at home and take back control. By learning the art of discarding you will gain space, free yourself from "accumulation syndrome," and find new joy and purpose in your clutter-free life.

#BTS shot at my library, about 30 books removed from the collection...
A lot of people balk at the thought of books being discarded but seriously, it has to be done. These books are those that have ZERO checkouts and/or mold growing inside (because that's definitely a thing) while others are falling apart. We try to save or replace what we can but not everything can stay. Bottom line: we have to make room for new things.

Tamra I can only imagine what is found in kids‘ library books! 😱 7y
jpmcwisemorgan I don‘t mind as much, although I prefer repurposing books as much as possible. I‘d say recycling but there‘s not a lot of money in it sometimes so it doesn‘t happen. Paper in landfills doesn‘t break down. This means that a 100 years from now people can peel back layers in a landfill and find full intact newspapers. 7y
EchoLogical @Tamra A lot, a whole lot. 😵 Lol 7y

EchoLogical @jpmcwisemorgan Point taken. We put paperbacks in recycling but hardcover books aren't recyclable. Side note: I definitely thought newspaper was biodegradable and used in compost. Learn something new every day! 7y
jpmcwisemorgan You can compost newspaper. The problem with paper going to landfills, actually most things, is that it gets compressed and that doesn‘t allow for it to break down. It just has more and more trash piled on. It just depends on where it ends up, etc. 7y
MarriedtoMrT I ❤️ weeding. I just have to convince my Children‘s Librarian if it‘s value. It‘s an ongoing battle. 7y
